All Things 3D Shape

L.O: I can recognise and describe

3D shapes.

• I can identify and describe the properties of 3D shapes and their nets.

• I can identify and describe a wide range of 3D shapes.

• I can compare and classify 3D shapes.

• I can reason about 3D shapes

Identifying 3D Shapes

Which of these 3D shapes can you name and describe, write down how many, that if I asked you, you could describe to me?

Revising 3D shapes

Cylinder • 3 faces • 2 edges • 0 vertices

Hexagonal Prism • 8 faces • 18 edges • 12 vertices

Cube • 6 faces • 12 edges • 8 vertices

Pentagonal Prism • 7 faces • 15 edges • 10 vertices

An edge is where two faces meet

A vertex is the point or corner

Triangular Prism • 5 faces • 9 edges • 6 vertices

Cuboid • 6 faces • 12 edges • 8 vertices

Square-based pyramid • 5 faces • 8 edges • 5 vertices

Octahedron • 8 faces • 12 edges • 6 vertices

3D shapes are made up from a 2D net – can you match them up ?

The Platonic Solids Why do you this these five 3D shapes are called the Platonic Solids?

Tetrahedron Cube Octahedron Icosahedron Dodecahedron

• Each one is a polyhedron (a solid with flat faces).

• They are special because every face is a regular polygon of the same size and shape.

• They are named after Plato, a famous Greek philosopher and mathematician.

Euler’s Rule Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707 - 1783) discovered a mathematical equation relating to the properties of 3D shapes:

Number of faces

Number of Vertices

Number of Edges

+ - = 2

Choose a 5 3D shapes and prove that the equation is correct!

Any extra time lesson (or just if you want too) go over any answers you got wrong yesterday and work with an adult (or email me/school) to see

where you went wrong!
